hey everyone
My question is:
if I already Hold PR(permanent residence), and my 12 months of being under this -Not time restriction period- that is mandatory in order to apply for naturalisation, if those 12 months end lets say either at the beggining of march 2019 right before brexit takes place or during the preceding months, WILL I be able to use it in order to apply for naturalisation? ?
As we all know aparently from March 2019 Brexit will occur and there is no way back, however it seems like there is gonna be a grace period between March 2019 and December 2020,within this time all EEA nationals living in the uk and their family members will need to apply for either a document confirming their status (pre-settled or settled).
but they also say that holders of permanent residence and residence cards will be able to use it between march 2019 and december 2020, if so, i assume I can perfectly apply for naturalisation without problem as it would be a valid document still....
if anyone know pls help
thanks for your help

You are referring to the "transition period". Unfortunately nothing has been formally agreed and therefore not enacted in UK Immigration law and regulations. We need to wait for revised application guidance.

So this Brexit is meant to take place by 30 of march 2019, with or without the transition period or (grace period) which is meant to be from march-2019 till december 2020 but:
lets say I submit my application for naturalisation on the 18 of march 2019, I assume my application has to be valid and they should admit my PR as a proof of not time restriction in order to apply for naturalisation, cause by then thatd still be a valid document,
thats basically my concern.

However there has to be a transition period, in which the immigrants EEA nationals and their family members can still use their current documents until they exchange it for the new settle and pre-settle status, cause is imposible they are gonna let millions of people as illegals, or even ban Us from the uk like if we were criminals...

According to the current guidelines, every person with an EU nationality should apply for settled status before 30 June 2021.

This means you should be able to use your PR card for a naturalisation application before that date, unless something about the rules changes in the near future.

Nothing has changed by that date so your application will be valid, as long as you satisfy all the requirements.
